No Flames Please Just the Facts!

Hello Everyone I feel totally STUPID to ask this question but I am going to anyway....Let's say that this being the Easter season and I know that lots of us have had a taste or two of chocolate even though we are not supposed to----well, lets say we did sample a small amount. Would it be beneficial to drink water immediately following the chocolate taste test? Would water flush the forbidden crap out of our system before it has a chance to settle in on our hips, etc? I have to be totally honest because I have been having a really hard time saying no to the chocolate demon, but, I am getting better and no longer have it in the house, but it's at work where it makes it difficult for me, because, I can't stay out of my office all day! Thanks for the help! Hugs Marianne

Marianne, Basically the fats, etc are absorbed in the intestine. So it not sitting in the pouch long won't matter. I wish that worked myself. It's very difficult once you start doing something to stop and even harder to try to stop completely so the cravings will go away. The only thing that works for me is out of sight out of mind or not really out of mind just not easy enough to grab! It's hard! Amy

Hey Marianne... I'm not a doctor, but... if it were that easy to get rid of the evil calories and fat from junk food... I sure would not have undergone the wls..... seriously, I think that if you eat it, you absorb most of the calories..... But your idea would make my life a lot easier... especially around the holidays!!! lol On the other hand.... some people can moderate their consumption of that stuff and be ok... be almost normal..... I am still working on that... chocolate seems to over ride my brain and next thing I know... I gotta have it daily... better for me to stay away from it for now.... Good luck.. and remember.. Easter and the leftovers should be over any day now..... Laurie - minus 186 llbs!!
